Little Feet

In the opening moments, we see seven-year old Lana watching after her four-year old brother. The children laugh and play, while Lana improvises the role of caretaker (cutting Nico's hair, preparing their meals and putting her brother to bed). They live out of sight from the adult world. When Lana puts their weary father to bed we see in her stoic and sad eyes the profound sadness of a lonely child who is being asked to grow up too soon: the children's mother has died and left them on their own. Nico is too young to comprehend the full weight of the loss and continues to "see Mommy" in his dreams and in the water of his bath. And thus begins the strange and beautiful adventure that is LITTLE FEET.
